After nearly fifty days in the White House, President Trump has done an excellent job. On his second day in office he vowed to destroy the Islamic State, and on his ninth day he fulfilled his promise of a 5 year-ban on officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government, and a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government, which was a promise kept. (foxnews.com) My favorite quote by my President Trump is “My policy is to learn from the past, focus on the present, and dream about the future. " I think that this quote describes him perfectly as a president.
The United States Congress was created by the founding fathers for representatives voted by their constituents to create legislation and to keep the President in check for the betterment of the nation. Congress was seen as the heart and soul of democracy and many believed that congressmen listened to their problems and would enact change to help. Today, Congress is seen as corrupt, unproductive, and always promising, but never delivering. Several politicians have run for Congress saying they will end the corruptness and bring upon changes to end the unproductiveness. Unfortunately, Congress is still progressing at a slow grind.
In short, there is a lack of positive interpretations of Congress from the several people listed raging from students to political experts. The framers of the Constitution did not predict such negative backlash, considering that they gave Congress an extensive list of powers and the ability to implement express powers through the Necessary and Proper Clause. Originally a vital part of the nation, it has fallen in stature due to its complicated institution. Legislation is not quick, bills can be time consuming, ordinary people can be left out, bills can disappear, and it all paints a negative light for the public. Congress has also been overshadowed by the president on several critical occasions.
2. This cartoon depicts the popular belief about Congress, which is that they don’t do anything. The current 112th Congress is supposedly the worst Congress ever for many reasons.

Article I is the longest article in the Constitution; it establishes the national legislature called Congress. The Founders divided Congress into a Senate and a House of Representatives because they were afraid of placing too much authority in any one institution. Among other powers, Congress collects taxes, provides for the common defense (meaning that the federal government, not just the states, provides resources for the protection and security of the United States) Article II establishes an executive department headed by a president and vice president. The article further describes the powers of the offices, the manner of election, and the qualifications for office.
In The textbook “Presidents and the American Presidency,” Han says that the key to running for president is to appeal to the voters who are undecided and to convince the partisan voters to come out and support their candidacy (Han 110). Examining President Donald Trump’s performance from the first presidential debate of 2016, show how President Trump met some of these things but also did not meet them all. One of the things a candidate must do is appeal to the base of their party, in this case the Republican Party. Some ways that President Trump did this in this debate was by addressing the topics of: lowering taxes, restoring law and order, and pressing Secretary Clinton to release her emails. First on the topic of taxes, he stuck to the traditional republican platform (Republican).
The United States was founded on the belief that the country would be democratically based. The Framers constructed Congress to uphold and demonstrate those beliefs for the country as a whole. They manufactured Congress the way that it is to ensure that the government would not occupy sizable amounts of power. In today’s society, Congress does not act like a true democratic governmental faction due to the lack of fear in elections, the way Congress is operated, and the lack of representing the constituency opinion in how they vote towards policies. Members of Congress due not spend as much time inconveniencing themselves with the reelection process due to the fact that the incumbents of Congress have a substantial advantage over the newcomers.

FDR: I invested effort during my campaign and throughout my presidency to convey messages directly to the public and keep citizens informed. Legislative achievements do not necessarily make themselves apparent—a deft communicator often has to relay an administration’s achievements to people. I utilized fireside chats, newspaper prints, and radio in ways revolutionary for my time. Just as I realized that radio bypassed the problem of lower literacy rates among poor constituents, President Trump transmitted his platform according to the needs of a digital agency. Utilizing Twitter virtually around the clock and riding a tidal wave of free media coverage allowed Trump to inundate the media.
On April 11th, Trump tweeted out against Russia saying, “Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!” Not long after this Trump sent out another tweet saying he wants to improve Russian relations, “Our relationship with Russia is worse now than it has ever been, and that includes the Cold War. There is no reason for this.
Overall, it can be debated that Congress is not statistically or proportionately representative of the general population, and its citizenry. Although there has been an increase the notion of identity politics, there is a theoretical hurdle that must be passed in the form of the demands that are inherent to the nomination and selection process, which, most significantly carry a financial aspect that the general lay person, may not be able to tackle. Furthermore, it can be argued that although someone does not share the same characteristics of a given group from the United States population that they will be less effective in representing the challenges and needs of said group. For example, the mere fact that a Congresswoman may be involved on a certain issue dealing with female rights may not necessarily translate to a Congressman being weaker in defending or supporting the same issue. Although there has been an increase in the diversity that is held in Congress, I do not feel as though there is strong correlation to representation.
